Bruno - Pattern

Bruno is a simple raglan sweater with a pearl stitch rib. The cute puppy Bruno is embroidered on the pocket before being assembled onto the sweater. The sweater is knitted with a yarn of Arwetta together with a yarn of Tilia, both from Filcolana.

About the embroidery:

Bruno is embroidered with only one type of stitch, backstitch. Follow the drawings in the pattern.

We first embroider the outline around the shapes, then we fill in with colors inside (fill stitches).

The fill stitches should be as close as possible to avoid the background color showing through. They can be overlapped to your advantage.

It's nice to vary the length of these stitches.

NB! The look will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the figure.

Yarn for embroidery:

Eco Vita Wool: 001, 205, 103, 504, 301 and 305

You can purchase Eco Vita embroidery thread individually here or as a complete embroidery kit here.

It is up to you whether you want to buy the embroidery thread we have used, or whether you want to use leftover yarn that you already have. NB! Remember that if you use leftover yarn, you must be sure that the yarn you embroider with is made of the same material as the yarn you knit the vest with. We therefore recommend embroidering a little on a sample patch and test washing it if you are unsure about the yarn choice. Different quality of yarn can cause the garment to be damaged in the wash.
